Illumination
This watch has two LEDs (light-emitting diode) that cause
the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. The
watch’s auto light switch turns on illumination automatically
when you angle the watch for reading towards your face.
The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by the •
auto light switch on indicator) for it to operate.
See “Illumination Precautions” for more important •
information.
Auto light switch on
indicator
To turn on illumination
In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press B to turn on
illumination.
You can use the procedure above to select either 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds as the •
illumination duration. When you press B, the illumination will remain on for about
1.5 seconds or 3 seconds, depending on the current illumination duration setting.
To specify the illumination duration
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down 1. A until the
seconds start to flash, which indicates the setting
screen.
While the seconds are flashing, press 2. C nine times to
display the illumination duration setting screen.
Press 3. D to toggle between 1.5 seconds (
) and

Press 4. A to exit the setting screen.
About the Auto Light Switch
While the auto light switch is enabled, illumination turns on whenever you position
your wrist as described below in any mode.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it
towards you at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist. •
Parallel to ground
More than 40°
Warning!
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the watch •
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged
in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that
sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others
around you.
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned •
off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor
vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a
distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for about three seconds to toggle the auto
light switch on (auto light switch on indicator displayed) or off (auto light switch on
indicator not displayed).
The auto light switch on indicator is on the display in all modes while the auto light •
switch is turned on.
In order to protect against running down the battery, the auto light switch turns off •
automatically approximately six hours after you turn it on.
Reference
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.
It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and
functions of this watch.
Graphic Areas
There are two graphic areas named A and B.
Graphic area B
Graphic area A
Graphic area A: In the Timekeeping Mode and World •
Time Mode, segments indicate the
current time (in units of 10 seconds).
In the Countdown Timer Mode and
Stopwatch Mode, segments indicate the
ongoing timer measurement (in units of
1/10 second).
Graphic area B: In the Timekeeping Mode and World •
Time Mode, segments indicate the
current time (in units of one second).
In the Countdown Timer Mode and
Stopwatch Mode, segments indicate the
ongoing timer measurement (in units of
one second).
Button Operation Tone
The button operation tone sounds any time you press one
of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation
tone on or off as desired.
Even if you turn off the button operation tone, the alarms, •
the Hourly Time Signal, and the countdown alarm all
operate normally.
Mute indicator
To turn the button operation tone on and off
In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down C to toggle
the button operation tone on (the mute indicator not displayed) and off (the mute
indicator displayed).
Holding down • C to turn the button operation tone on or off also causes the watch’s
current mode to change.
The mute indicator is displayed in all modes when the button operation tone is •
turned off.
Auto Return Features
If you leave the watch in the Alarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing •
any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.
If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes •
without performing any operation, the watch automatically exits the setting screen.
Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you
last exited the mode appears first.
Timekeeping
Resetting the seconds to • while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to
without changing the minutes.
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099. •
The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month •
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.
World Time
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the •
Timekeeping Mode.
All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City Time in the •
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time offset values.
The UTC offset is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference •
point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the •
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s
rotation.

Flash Alert
When Flash Alert is turned on, the illumination flashes for
the alarms, the Hourly Time Signal and the countdown
alarm.
To turn Flash Alert on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down 1. A until the
seconds start to flash, which indicates the setting
screen.
Press 2. C ten times to display the Flash Alert setting
screen.
Press 3. D to toggle Flash Alert on and off.
• The Flash Alert on indicator is shown on the display in
all modes while this function is turned on.
Press 4. A to exit the setting screen.
Illumination Precautions
Illumination loses power after very long use. •
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight. •
Illumination will turn off automatically if an alarm starts to sound while Flash Alert is •
turned off. When Flash Alert is turned on, illumination will flash with the alarm.
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery. •
Auto light switch precautions
Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light •
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to
wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is •
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make sure
that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
Illumination turns off after the preset illumination duration •
(see “To specify the illumination duration”), even if you
keep the watch pointed towards your face.
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with •
proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination
does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the
starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it
back towards you again. If this does not work, drop your
arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then
bring it back up again.
Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after •
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken •
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
